I hope she was the oldest person at The mighty boosh and got glassed on the way back home to Northampton 'to see my hubby, India and Jude'. SHUT UP GRANDMA.

She inflicted the names India and Jude upon her children?
Ugh.

I know, she's so pseudo trendy. There's not one individual bone in her body, I remember once she got into a (as ever overlong) rant about how 'Jude' wasn't named after Jude Law but the song 'Hey Jude' which funnily enough is what 'Jude Law' is named after which kinda rendered her argument null and void. Twat.

She was hosting ToTP this week and was so utterly bad that I was pining for Reggie. She's older than me by at least a decade and I don't listen to Radio 1, time to ship the granny to Radio 4.

I'm in the minority then, because of all the cunts on Radio 1, Whiley is the one I hate the least. She should get a Lowculture Award. Least Cuntish Radio1 Presenter. Stiff competition mind.

I like Jo Whiley, too. Chris Moyles, Spoony, Scott Mills, Westwood however...

This is a story from a couple of weeks ago but I've only just seen this thread.
According to my boyfriend he heard Chappers on R1 saying that he had been to a gig with Jo Whiley and she was wearing some brand new very expensive boots which she rather crossly told him not to spill beer on to. It being a gig (often busy, full of people jumping about) he did just that to which she responded by headbutting him.
Whatthefuck?!
I feel this story illustrates why she is one of the more replelant people on Radio 1. A lot of them (Sarah Cox, Scott Mills, Spoony) are annoying and incompetent at their jobs but ultimately not bad people. Jo Whiley is a mega bitch and if I were a 17th century Puritan I would probably say that she will burn in Hell for it.

Headbutting chappers should not be condemned. I'd now encourage her to take a few of the others to gigs.

I saddens me to hear people call Coxy incopetent, I love her too much. Many a ridiculous email and txt from me and my friends were read out by her when she was in the Breakfast show. She plays decent music and isn't snobby about it. And she really is pretty funny.

I like Coxy too. Even more so after the poor love got flattened by the sweaty carcus of Moyles and slipped under the breakfast studio door into the cold outdoors. I hope she's on the same money for two shows a week.

Jo Whiley is such a rubbish music snob. She thinks she's superior to the masses for listening to Coldplay and knowing who Jose Gonzalez is. As if no-one else remotely interested in music would know.
The fact that she bans her kids from listening to generic pop music means that she should fuck right off.

Jo Wiley did a one hour DJ set at my union the other week. She looked a bit mutton-y and had a 40oz bottle of Jack to get her through her oh-so-original set, which started with Arctic Monkeys and went downhill from there. I got trampled by everyone trying to touch her and my friend bounced over to me later squealing "I got her autograph twice!". I hate her now.

I have been looking for this forum my whole life.
I can not stand Jo Whiley. Do i hate her? not really, i hate her work. She is a total incompetent, that makes me want to break my radio and eat the batteries.
I only ever listen by accident now, (in other people cars or when R1 is on in public) but she is still a total idiot. It was at uni i learned what a total nob she is. She knows nothing about music. It's so embarrassing.
I remember she once complained that when she took her kid to McDonalds she was given a girls toy for her son's happy meal. I hate to break it to you Jo, but an 8-year-old boy with long hair will on occasions be confused for an 8-year-old girl. A normal person/dj would've made it into a little conversation piece... Not Jo she gets on her high horse and goes on about it for years....
Who remembers when she lost her flip-flops??? Moyles read out an e-mail from Jo's producer. She had lost her flip flops and could everyone please have a look for them???
Also, i feel so sorry for the guests coming on to be interviewed by Jo "ASK THE FU*CKING OBVIOUS IN A REAL PATRONISING WAY" Whiley.
I can only conclude that she has something over the people at Radio One, maybe it goes even higher. I reckon she has a brown envelope in a bank containing pictures of BBC bosses with Lady boys. How else could she go on for so long.
Everyone i know, thinks she's a retard. Whys does she get listeners. Well it's a time of day when people are doing other things. Be it work or study, so the radio is usually on in the back ground and peple can't be arsed to change it.
What Rocks, What sucks? ? FU*K OFF

The thing that really irritates me about her is the fact that her husband is some sort of indie svengali. He manages The Automatic and how long did we have to put with fucking "Monster". At least Zane Lowe had the decency to refuse to play his own Brookes Coop single. The other thing is the arse kissing on the live lounge - when fall out boy did an acoustic version of one of their singles I remember - "Wow what an amazing voice Patrick has!" It was awful - no doubt under obligation Moyles played it the next day and him and Dave pissed their sides laughing at it. She needs to go and soon. I think she should be replaced by someone like Simon Amstell - the whole indie credibility thing doesn't really wash with me any longer. Get someone funny in - at least the live lounge interviews would be worth listening to.

I am too old to listen to Radio one, I am 45. Or to put it another way the same age as the self-obsessed faded rock chick that is Josephine Whiney. Occasionally, during Glastobury coverage for example, I have to put up with her. I manage this by putting a pillow over my ears and singing It's a Small World After All as loud as I can till the picture changes. But sometimes I get stuck with her radio show (car + teenage daughters = they choose the station and we come across her from time to time) then there's just no getting away from her dead-top-lip, self important posturing.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou all you wonderful young people for restoring my faith in the human nature. Not least your capacity to detect bollox and shout "you have no clothes on, Empress of Shite!" (ok I'm mixing my parables but forgive me)
BTW, go to the BBC/radio website, look at the picture of herself she presumably authorised for publication and tell me that she is not so far up her own arse she's uses her own teeth as a hairband.

Stumbling across this thread has partially re-affirmed my faith in humanity. Its not just me then who finds her to be a teeth-gnashingly irritating whey-faced snob. For years I have had to suffer her inane gushing over any band with floppy fringes, jangly pissweak guitars and overly affected bleating vocals. She basically plays anything the NME say its readership (itself a mixture of bedwetting cardigan wearing snobs and nathan barley types) are obliged to hear in order to still be accepted by their shallow peers, or anything the listeners who dont listen to R1 in the evening wont notice was discovered by the only marginally less annoying Zane Lowe and played the following evening. The fact that she is portrayed as a champion of eclectic music is an absolute joke. This is the woman who stated a few years back that she 'didnt think hip-hop had contributed anything to music', and now gushes over the totally underground likes of eminem, 50 cent and whichever of their clueless lackeys and hangers-on has released a weak single that month. She talks about grime and so-called 'urban' music, but all she plays is tracks by middle-class wannabe rudeboys who give the game away by being unable to resist adding whiny vocals to the tracks. As for her barely disguised contempt for Metal, she should just admit she doesnt get it instead of promising us some 'metal' and then playing more whiny bullshit such as Trivium, or whatever 'metal' band the NME says its ok to listen to 'ironically'. When she was interviewing Dave Grohl, and he said he was currently reading the biography of Tom Warrior (of Celtic Frost), she let out a sound that seemed to say 'even though I dont know who that is, it sounds like Metal, please dont make me look uncool by telling everyone you like it'. The face that her husband manages those shitehawks the automatic doesnt suprise me one bit, such a commitment to filling your airtime with good new music.. The only thing that raises a smile is her admiration for John Peel and the fact she still doesn't understand why he didnt like a lot of the crappy whining shite she likes- 'I'd be talking about seeing coldplay and he would make a face'.. it was because he was someone uncaring of trends, and free of the snobbery that means no one will ever play the likes of Napalm Death on R1 anymore (except maybe twice a year at 4.37 on a sunday morning), and could see beyond wacky, student clown bands to the bigger picture, like everyone except her.

Amy Winehouse seemed bored of the sound of Whiley's voice didn't she the other day when she was "in the live lounge"? I bet she would have bashed her if they'd be in the same room when she mentioned her chicken fillets.

Winehouse + Whiley can't have been as good as Winehouse + Lorraine Kelly the other morning.
Amy just stood by the microphone, looking like she hadn't slept for 5 days and was full of gin (which she probably was, good on her), while Lorraine stood next to her showering her with gushing praise and receiving very little reaction back - "oh you're a lovely wee thing... but you're not to lose any more weight", "you speak you're own mind, that's great", "I love that you've got your own wee individual style" etc...
It was like a smack addict visitting their scottish grandma for tea and cake.
Not that this has anything to do with Whiley. Perhaps Lorraine should take over her show.

Unfortunately you may be incorrect, Winehouse informed Whiley the other day that she actually "drinks anything and everything except Gin and Beer".

Jo Whiley, TV guru. Have you ever noticed that when the evil bitch from satans own arsehole talks about a brand new TV show that you just have to watch, it's usually something thats well into its fifth series as was the case with scrubs? Or the last episode of the repeats of series 2 of the Mighty Boosh. Makes you wonder where she hears about these programs? Does she actually watch them or just pick up a year old copy of the radio times while she's sitting on the bog, crapping out her next interview?

I'm so happy I could cry! This is the board I have been searching for all these long lonely years! I thought I was alone but I have found like-minded brothers and sisters willing to stand up and shout "F*CK OFF WHILEY YOU REPELLENT LITTLE GNOME"!!
Her TV series was worse than her radio show - which in itself is 3 hours of gushing and fawning over whichever bored artist has been requested by their management to make an appearance on her show to boost their popularity. She hasn't an original thought in her head - if asked to give her spontaneous opinion on anything she will stall until her guest gives their opinion first and then will agree with them so as not to look "uncool" to her sycophantic fanbase.
What is kinda worrying though is the overpowering self belief in her own importance. If you listen to her show for long enough she actually tries to convince us (through the device of many tactics both upfront and stealthy) that she discovered so much that we take for granted now! Examples would be Nirvana, Damien Rice, The Arctic Monkeys, Radio 1, The Wheel, America, Uranium (or Whilium as it should be known), Fusion, Fission, Time Travel...you get the idea. F*ck whiley! F*ck her up her stupid a$$!
